Gregory Peck is so legendary is this.
YES !
This movie is a master class in how to direct children. Most directors treat kids with kid-gloves which results in muted performances, but not Richard Donner. He didn't abuse or cursed out the kid, but Donner would often yell out directions or use reverse-psychology to get an emotional reaction.
Fun Fact: Richard Donner and Harvey Bernhard asked Alan Ladd Jr., then the head of Twentieth Century Fox, for extra money during the film's post-production period to hire composer Jerry Goldsmith. They strongly felt that his music was right for the movie, after seeing him perform a live concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles earlier that year. Ladd was finally talked into giving Donner and Bernhard around $25,000 to hire Goldsmith, who would deliver his first and only Academy Award win for his score in 1977. Donner credits the success of the film to Goldsmith's score, which increased the tension and fear of the movie.
for the very last shot Donner told the young actor to turn around to look at him then kept saying "don't you smile now, don't you dare smile at me" lol
Best baby sales pitch ever..." y'all could already be cousins "
yes!!!
Oh my god the fucking edit of the intercom buzzing and interrupting the priest. That was absolutely hysterical.
I laughed so hard
yeah it was great!!
One of the all time greatest reactors reacting to one of the all time greatest horror films!
your too kind
The way I screamed with the buzzer cutting the priest off edit lmfao...
hahahahahaha
I actually prefer 2 to this. The kid Damien is fantastic
The 2nd one is AWESOME!!
I've seen every one in the trilogy over 300 times each. 2 is my favorite as well. I even read the books. The books are better. But the trilogy is awesome. The ending of part 3 kinda sucks but 2 is the best.
Damien: Omen 2 is in my top 5 favourite movies.
@@jonbolton3376 the lady getting killed by the bird is wild!!
Fright Night, the 80's version, is a good vampire movie.
Jerry Goldsmith's oscar winning score really makes this movie terrifying. That hanging in the begining scarred me for life..saw this when I was 6 in the theater back in '76
Priest slapped the baby like a Buick n said “it’ll look great with the family trust me”🤣
Exactly!!
The remake is bad but the original little Damien actor plays a reporter in the remake. Apparently he was also able to keep the little tricycle from the original movie!
Yup he pretty much looks the same in the face, grey hair on top though
....And David Warner, as Jennings, the photographer, who would later play the ship's detective in ' Titanic. '
If you know the dead language of Latin the lyrics of the music are even more terrifying.
Why?? What is it?
She wanted to hang out at the party 🤣🤣 That was bad
4:57: “Where are the parents at?! Ooo, that scarf with that jacket…” 😄
As a kid, like most people around me.. this was our FIRST introduction to a Rottweiler.
Nah fr!!! And my auntie and uncle had a Rottweiler that I never fucked with 🙅🏾♂️. And it was just as vicious when it saw me.
"Why is the merry go round still going around!?!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
Great video. Notice Holly Palance, daughter of Jack, as the nanny who jumps off the roof, and Patrick Troughton , who played the 2nd ' Doctor Who ', as Father Brennan.
22:15, another interesting fact. Notice the length of this scene, it's longer then usual. Richard Donner knew the audience would cover their eyes during this scene and he intentionally made it longer. By the time of the initial reaction of the audience they would look and it was still happening. How brilliant is that?
Also, the great Gregory Peck didn't want to dirty up his character by him killing the child. Donner had to keep resuring Peck not to worry, hence...
Wow. Was the original storyline for the child to die, then?
Bit of cast trivia: Damien's first nanny, with the spectacular fate at the birthday party, is played by Holly Palance, actress daughter of Hollywood legend tough guy actor Jack Palance. The character is billed only as "Nanny" but notice Lee Remick calls her by her real name in the scene.
That's an interesting piece of trivia! Thanks for sharing.
The Omen 2 is solid.
This channel needs to blow up. Certain other reactors have 100k subs and they are idiots.
All the people in these comments are right.
Genius level entertainment
I appreciate that I just got to keep working at it maybe one day I can get 100,000 subscribers
I found this movie scarier that the Exorcist.
“It’s all for you, Showdown.”
Nooooooooo
one thing i’ve always wonderd was how did Thorn (Gregory Peck) force himself to approach his photographer friends (David Warner) headless dead body to retrieve those daggers? unless that old man Bugganhagen intervened and did it for him.
right !
I’ll say it agin , the subs should be so many more , you have a passion for what your doing and it shows… !get subbing people trust me it’s so worth it . You could stretch them out more too , I wouldn’t mind more
The channel is definitely growing, slowly but surely. I have definitely linked people over here. I'm doing my part to help the channel grow! :P (seriously, whenever I find a channel that does horror, I always tell the people to come here. This is one of the only reactors that I'll watch even if I don't like the movie. PS: Agree about the stretching, but he has had some videos that have gotten taken down, or that he couldn't get through. I'll bet that's why some videos seem like they're edited in a more random manner than they probably originally were.
Same! Been telling everyone I know about this channel.
thank you very much appreciate the kind words to avoid copyrights got to chop the movie up keep it short it's a challenge
Subbed
@@pinehawk9600 thank you !
13:36, an interesting thing about that "stunt", they rigged it in a way where she didn't fall but the floor moved up or something like that and the camera zoomed out and/or reversed it and she was rigged to turn. I'm sure they do have something on TH-cam (hopefully). It's interesting how they really did it. I don't think it's ever been repeated either.
yup, the "floor" is actually a wall with the props secured to it, then the actress just walked to it as if she was falling :)
great reactions. Gregory Peck only just lost his son in real life, (committed suicide), so it's amazing he took the part. Gregory Peck, what a classy bloke he was. Fantastic film.
Damian's mother was a jackal. That's what that skeleton of the "mother" was in the cemetery. Supposedly there's a prequel in production that deals with the birth.
OH!
Damn that even sounds horrifying
SELL that baby preacher! 😜
This was my grandfathers favorite movie. Rest in peace gramps.
His mother was a jackal
"Spellbound." 1945 Has, Peck, Bergman and Hitchcock directing. It's a decent movie with dream sequences by Salvador Dali.
Laughed til my stomach hurt lol .
"He's a perfectly healthy boy...with some mild traces of Dogo Argentino, Pit Bull, Mastiff, Rottweiler and JACKALL DNA!" The title could have been..."John McEnroe the Early Years." This was a hilarious reaction.
lol
I'll say one thing it was well acted.
So good to see they both put their all into their performances since neither Peck nor Lee Remick wanted to do the film cause it was "horror".
"Where are the parents at?" Well, in Damien`s case his biological parents are either dead, in Hell or both.
Great Reaction. I felt the same way when I saw it.
awewsome movie
This is a part of a trilogy. The Omen, Damien Omen 2 and Omen the final conflict.
did them all th-cam.com/play/PLhZI5ql-TxcnhaqiAlJjJKiRD9UogzPXo.html
The remake isn't worth bothering with but the 2 sequels for sure are. In fact I've come to see The Omen as really a trilogy, with three movies detailing the different chapters of Damien's life.
There's also a fourth movie. Don't bother with that one either.
The remake is almost identical. Still good, but they don't change much to my recollection.
i still prefer the original
Don't change much? They took out the most integral and impactful part of the original - the music!!!!
The score to the shit remake is not fit to wipe the arsehole of Jerry Goldsmiths outstanding score for this. The remakes score is utterly forgettable, the acting is inferior by the entire cast.... a complete and utter waste of everyone's time and effort to even attempt to retell and improve on the 1976 classic.
@@rnw2739 i agree about the music . it was so haunting and terrifying in the original ! i didn't even finish watching the remake tbh
I think the Exorcist is a better crafted overall movie, but I always enjoyed The Omen much better, it still holds up today as entertaining.
4:06 Mrs.Thorn wasn't thrilled about the nanny parading Damien around to press photographers.
she did not like that at all
May have mentioned, but if haven't seen, "Rosemary's Baby"('68) a must c also! Director Polanski's wife killed by "Manson Family" n '69, & film shot inside The Dakota n NY where John Lennon lived & shot....Omen 2 & 3 complete THIS story! Great work as usual, MC! See ya, bro!!! 😎 ✌ ❤ 🚬
my brother thank you again
The smile....
Yo...the way I just cackled at the saucy ensemble! lol! 😁
too saucy
@@PopcornReactions ..damn near zesty!

Yeah man, thumbs up for giving the great Jerry Goldsmith a mention for his fantastic score!!
Great reaction bro to an absolute classic. Not sure where you're from but you sound NY as hell! Judging from your outro music I'm assuming you're a Hip Hop fan. Don't know if you know but the Legendary DJ Premier sampled part of the score from this film. If you haven't heard ... check out the song "My Thoughts" DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles which sampled " A Sad Message" by Jerry Goldsmith (0.40) FIRE. Even just the Instrumental. Feeling your content man
Anyone who is a super fan of Doctor Who knows who the priest is. The great Patrick Troughton 😀😀
The attack scene at the zoo with the baboons was real.
yes!
Hey LOVE your content man! Its good to just come home from work and watch a movie with yall :)
thanks Knox
My dad said one night he was going to watch this. My mom said no and went to bed. My dad said he was rocking with until that woman jump out the window. My dad said hell to naw, turned off the tv and went to bed too.
lol
Creepy flick, dude. I love the comments!
Great reaction I laughed so hard when you were ranting about the parents at the kids party then oohh that scarf with the jacket lol you cheer me right up.
LOL thanks Kel Kel!
Lol Great reaction as usual!!!! Don't bother with the remake. Go straight to The Omen 2!! As good as the first!! There is a scene that I Can't Wait to see your reaction to!!! 👍
Your fun to watch scary movies with!
🤣🤣🤣🤣You got me crying!
lol
The Caretaker is Billie Whitelaw who did the voice of Aughra in The Dark Crystal.
Great movie. Check out the sequel Damien: Omen 2.
I recently got done watching all The Omen movies. I normally don't say things like this but in this case. Only watch the original 3 stop after The Final Conflict. All I will say about the 4th one is it basically acts like a reboot. Then in the last 10 or so minutes makes a random weird connection to the 3rd movie. It completely undermines The 3rd movie basically all together. Now about the remakes I say skip it altogether because of these reasons non-spoiler. It basically and literally removes all discovery of the movie. I mean literally in the first 45 minutes you learn everything it took this entire movie . For you to discovered then it doesn't build up suspense or anything at all. It literally uses creepy scenes in the middle of nowhere. For no reason whatsoever so when something scary or creepy happened happens it has no effect. Because they did random creepy flashes throughout entire movie.
great reaction and commentary on this movie...
You should watch "Fallen" with Denzel Washington and John Goodman. In my opinion, it's Denzel's best performance.
oh good movie!
Now ya seen 1, you gotta do to 2 💯,1978 Omen 2, as for 3 the finale conflict,1981 you have to decide yourself thanks 👍😊 for reviewing. His Mama was a jackal that all nothing to be said send back to senders.💯🙄🙄😆
nice
Great movie thanks Showdown and Omen 2 with William Holden is great also thanks
Ooh that scarf with that jacket! Is that not something or not? Subscribed
." y'all could already be cousins "
Love the reactions bro! Glad u did the paranormal activity reaction. Nobody has done that film yet on you tube. The omen is a classic!
Good times very enjoyable
Glad you enjoyed it
I don't think there's much need for you to watch the remake, but I'd definitely recommend the sequel Damien:Omen 2 from 1978, and if you're still interested you could then then watch Omen 3 The Final Conflict to see Damien as an adult.
im gona watch them all thank you
Pecks son committed suicide while he filmed the movie and it was very difficult to do the scene where he kills his son Damien at the end a fun fact
that is terrible wow it gives you even more respect for his acting in this film
The Omen and Rosemary's Baby
Trick 'R Treat and Creepshow are great Halloween movies if you haven't seen them yet.
appreciate the recommendations
Another great reaction to another classic. You're too funny - Priest vs. Intercom! 😆 In regards to religious themed horror, I know you've already done The Exorcist, so my recommendation is Constantine. Features a young Keanu Reeves. Angels, demons, the anti-Christ. Based on a comic book. Visually stunning -x-
Aisha why you want to scare me to death ?🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Yo wife gone look good with this baby I’m tryna tell you” 🤣🤣🤣if he was that janky I would’ve been knew somethin was up. I would’ve asked to see my son too like “Doc it’s been 9 months , ain’t no way he was premature”
hahahahaha right !!!!!
First time watching your channel. I have to say I'm liking it. Keep it up the great work. I would like to see you do reviews trailers
Thanks you
The nanny: the agency sent me
Popcorn: what agency??
Me:Hell!! That's who sent her .....
😂😂😂 that was funny
I had only seen this movie once atleast 25 years ago . I didn't remember a thing about it .
This was good .
The 90's " Omen " is what I'm most familiar with and yes its definitely worth it .
Great Review ....
That priest from Rome was Doctor Who #2
oh wow!
Yes!! Mate, you always come with the best films and give good reactions. Please also watch Damien: Omen II...its just as good and carries on straight after this.
yes I will thank you
Great reaction! Enjoyed it.
Thank you!! 😁
This movie is a great thriller horror thanks Showdown
thank you for stopping by again !
Great reaction!!!
For me, the remake is nothing like the original. I do hope that you will react to Damien omen II(1978).
Never heard of this movie before is it good?
so......next one the Omen 2 and the Omen 3 .... you need to watch the trilogy but forget the remake ( as all remake )
Omg
O Fortuna! Yes I can only watch this movie through your commentary lol. I'm too scary...
lol nice !
This movie is fuuuuuucked up. 😨
My son's Father wanted to name our son Damien.
Hard pass from Mom. 😂
you stopped too soon, missed the kid's knowing smile. kid adlib it.
A suggestion please react to the film Shakma
I love your channel dude!!
Q: Why do Americans insist in pronoucing words like 'Ambassador' as if they are speaking Spanish? It's not freaking
AmbassaDOOR it's Ambassada in English ffs , like inquisator etc
Drives me nuts
OMG I love this movie! Omen 2 is even better, putting in my request EARLY for you to react to it!! Love this channel so much
Hope you enjoyed it!
Hope you'll do Omen 2 and 3. Both good movies.
Great reaction! Damien: Omen 2 is well worth a watch too.
we will definitely get to part 2
As always, I love your videos. 6:15, LOL! Buzzzzzzz! This movie makes me laugh now, I used to think it was way better (when I was, like, 9!). Obviously one of the many Exorcist cash-ins. Happy Gregory Peck had a late career hit, though! You made me laugh "he's got one look", ha! The whole rest of the movie, that one comment was making me laugh every time he came on screen. (Check out Peck in "Moby Dick", though. That is not the same look! Great movie)./ Yeah, I love the disclaimer you give in the beginning. Is this because you've had a-holes in the comment sections, yelling at you because you're not taking their favorite horror movie seriously enough? Oh my god. Don't change a thing, your channel is the best.
thanks Tic Toc !
I think he does take the movies seriously (well, those that deserve it) he's witty without being condescending, unlike so many young reactors who like to s**t on the classics with their wack forced comedy routines. Constantly throwing around words like dated, cheesy, campy, slow, not scary and mocking the special effects. Uncultured swine, I tell you, all Uncultured swine.
@@blkluv100 I absolutely agree with your first part; I am not getting into some ageist whining about millennials for the second part. There are plenty of young reactors who do fantastic reactions of older films and there are some really dumb older ones. One of my favorite places on the internet is a blog about silent movies that is by a 20-something. There was as much "uncultured swine" in yesteryear as there is now. But I totally agree that our excellent friend on this channel takes the movies seriously; it's more like the people who complain about his style are the uncultured swine I tell you, all uncultured swine! :D
@@TTM9691 I said so many young reactors, not all, and didn't use the word millennial. It seems like most of the reactors, the popular ones anyway, are younger. TBR SCHMIDT and CINEMA RULES, young reactors, are some of my favorites, so I'm not biased. What I'm saying is a lot of the younger reactors don't possess the ability to contextualize older movies and are critiquing them by modern standards or just use them as backdrops for their stale comedy routines.
@@blkluv100 Sorry, when you said: "uncultured swine all", I took that to mean all young reactors, my apologies. Yes, TBR Schmitt and Cinema Rules are great, absolutely. There are lots of good ones, actually.
The shout out for the scarf and the jacket 🤣🤣🤣
You better recognize the vintage fashion.
The remake is actually pretty great in my opinion. I think you would like it
scarf and the jacket are awesome
Such a fun channel
I just found your channel bro and i love that you're reacting to the horror films I grew up watchin" love it brotha! you just got a new subscriber!! oh yea! react to "Fright Night" 😁
Awesome thank you!
and will do
The Omen remake is garbage but there a Omen 2 out there that was made in 77
Two Royals families the Saudi and the United Kingdom.
